Extracting and displaying key points of a video conference

ABSTRACT

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, system, and computer program product for speech summarization. A computer receives audio and video components from a video conference. The computer determines which participant is speaking based on comparing images of the participants with template images of speaking and non-speaking faces. The computer determines the voiceprint of the speaking participant by applying a Hidden Markov Model to a brief recording of the voice waveform of the participant and associates the determined voiceprint with the face of the speaking participant. The computer recognizes and transcribes the content of statements made by the speaker, determines the key points, and displays them over the face of the participant in the video conference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to speech analysis, and more particularly to determining the key points made by a speaker during a video conference.

BACKGROUND

Video conferencing is often used for business and personal use as an effective and convenient communication method that bypasses the need to physically travel to a location to have a face to face conversation. Video conferences are becoming increasingly popular because a single video conference can simultaneously connect hundreds of people from anywhere on the planet to a live, face to face conversation. Like in any conversation, however, video conferences may be impeded by language barriers, unrecognizable accents, fast speaking, or the chance that attendees arrive late to a multi-person conference and miss what was previously discussed.

In the example embodiment, computing device 120 may be a laptop computer, a notebook, tablet computer, netbook computer, personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a thin client, or any other electronic device or computing system capable of receiving and sending data to and from other computing devices. While computing device 120 is shown as a single device, in other embodiments, computing device 120 may be comprised of a cluster or plurality of computing devices, working together or working separately. Computing device 120 is described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.

Video conference program 126 is a program capable of providing capabilities to allow users to video conference by way of transmitting audio and video feeds between computing devices. In the example embodiment, video conference program 126 transmits audio and video feeds to other computing devices, such as computing device 110, via a network, such as network 108. In other embodiments, video conference program 126 may transmit audio and video feeds via a wired connection.

Computing device 110 includes video conference program 116 and speech summarization program 118. In the example embodiment, computing device 110 may be a laptop computer, a notebook, tablet computer, netbook computer, personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a thin client, or any other electronic device or computing system capable of receiving and sending data to and from other computing devices. While computing device 110 is shown as a single device, in other embodiments, computing device 110 may be comprised of a cluster or plurality of computing devices, working together or working separately. Computing device 110 is described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.

Video conference program 116 is a program capable of providing capabilities to allow users to video conference by way of transmitting audio and video feeds between computing devices. In the example embodiment, video conference program 116 transmits audio and video feeds to other computing devices, such as computing device 120, via a network, such as network 108. In other embodiments, video conference program 116 may transmit audio and video feeds via a wired connection.

In the example embodiment, speech summarization program 118 is partially integrated with video conference program 116 and receives the audio and video feeds transmitted to video conference program 116. In other embodiments, however, speech summarization program 118 may be fully integrated or not integrated with video conference program 116. Speech summarization program 118 is capable of identifying the voiceprint, or unique voice waveform parameters, of a speaker in the audio feed, for example, by utilizing a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to analyze common acoustic-phonetic characteristics including the decibel range, frequency spectrum, formant, fundamental tone, and reflection coefficient. Speech summarization program 116 is additionally capable of identifying the speaker in the video feed by analyzing the facial expressions of participants using a template based facial recognition method. Furthermore, speech summarization program 116 is capable of matching the voiceprint of a speaker in the audio feed with the face of the speaker in the video feed and storing the voiceprint of the speaker in a user database. In the example embodiment, the voiceprint database is stored locally on computing device 110, however in other embodiments, the voiceprint database may be stored remotely and accessed via network 108. Speech summarization program 116 is also capable of determining and transcribing the content of a statement made by the speaker by utilizing a HMM. Furthermore, speech summarization program 116 is capable of determining the key points made by the speaker and displaying a bubble listing the most recently made key points above the speaker in the video feed. The operations of speech summarization program is described in further detail in the discussion of FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart depicting the operation of speech summarization program 118 in determining and displaying the key points made by a speaker in a video conference, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In the example embodiment where speech summarization program 118 is integrated with video conference program 116, speech summarization program 118 detects the audio and video feeds of a video conference by way of integration with video conference program 116 (step 202). In other embodiments where speech summarization program 118 is not integrated with video conference program 116, speech summarization program 118 detects the audio and video feeds of a video conference by way of user input or communication with the operating system. For example, if participant Alpha is utilizing video conference program 116 on computing device 110 for a video conference with participant Beta on computing device 120, then speech summarization program 118 of computing device 110 detects the audio and video feeds from participant Beta on computing device 120 from video conference program 116.

In the example embodiment where speech summarization program 118 is integrated with video conference program 116, speech summarization program 118 identifies the voiceprint of the speaker from the audio data received via video conference program 116, however in other embodiments where speech summarization program 118 is not integrated with video conference program 116, speech summarization program 118 may identify the voiceprint of the speaker from audio feed data received via network 108 (step 204). In the example embodiment, speech summarization program 118 identifies the voiceprint of the speaker utilizing a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), however, in other embodiments speech summarization program 116 may identify a voiceprint utilizing other voice biometric techniques such as frequency estimation, Gaussian mixture models, pattern matching algorithms, neural networks, matrix representation, Vector Quantization, decision trees and cohort models. Speech summarization program 118 utilizes a Hidden Markov Model to analyze common acoustic-phonetic characteristics such as decibel range, frequency spectrum, formant, fundamental tone, and reflection coefficient. As a statement is made by a participant in the video conference, speech summarization program 118 analyzes a brief recording of the voice waveform to extract a model, or voiceprint, defining the parameters of the aforementioned acoustic-phonetic characteristics. The brief recording may correspond to a recording lasting about ten milliseconds, however other lengths may be used as well. Speech summarization program 118 then attempts to match that voiceprint with an existing voiceprint in a voiceprint database stored on computing device 110. In the example embodiment, participants of the video conference state their name at the outset of the video conference in order for speech summarization program 118 to identify and store their voiceprint in the voiceprint database. Participants stating their name provides speech summarization program 118 an opportunity to identify and store the voiceprint of the participant, and also provides speech summarization program 118 an opportunity to recognize and identify a name or identifier to associate with that voiceprint (speech recognition techniques to identify the spoken name are discussed in further detail in step 210). For example, if participant Charlie joins participant Beta on computing device 120 in the conference call with participant Alpha described above, speech summarization program 118 on computing device 110 must distinguish between two audio feeds (Beta and Charlie). Speech summarization program 118 determines the two different voiceprints of Beta and Charlie by analyzing the voice waveform of both Beta and Charlie over a brief period of time and extracting the characteristic parameters. Speech summarization program 118 then attempts to match the voiceprints of Beta and Charlie to existing voiceprints in the voiceprint database. If participants Beta and Charlie are new participants, speech summarization program may not find a match in the voiceprint database and the voiceprints of participants Beta and Charlie may be added to the voiceprint database under the names Beta and Charlie if stated at the outset of the meeting. If participants Beta and Charlie have existing voiceprints in the voiceprint database, statements made by participants Beta and Charlie may be associated with existing voiceprint information corresponding to participants Beta and Charlie.

Speech summarization program 118 identifies the face of the speaker from the video feed received via network 108 (step 206). In the example embodiment, speech summarization program 118 identifies the speaker from the video feed utilizing a template matching approach, however, in other embodiments speech summarization program 116 may utilize geometric based approaches, piecemeal/wholistic approaches, or appearance-based/model-based approaches. Template matching is a technique in digital image processing for finding small parts of an image which match a template image. Utilizing a template based approach, speech summarization program 118 compares the face of a speaker in the video feed with a set of stored templates. The templates include photos of random human faces preloaded into speech summarization program 118, some speaking and some not speaking. Speech summarization program 118 utilizes template matching by first taking an image of the faces of the participants in the video feed(s) as a voiceprint is determined. Speech summarization program 118 then compares the images to the stored templates to determine whether the face of the speaker in the video feed images resembles a speaking face or a non-speaking face in the templates by sampling a large number of pixels from each image and determining whether the pixels match in shade, brightness, color, and other factors. Continuing the example above with users Alpha, Beta, and Charlie conducting a video conference, speech summarization program 118 on computing device 110 compares the stored templates to the faces of users Beta and Charlie in the video feed to determine who is speaking at a particular instant. If Charlie is speaking, then his face in the video feed will resemble the template of a speaking person's face and speech summarization program 118 determines that participant Charlie is speaking.

Speech summarization program 118 associates the voiceprint of a participant identified in step 204 with the speaker identified in step 206 (step 208). Speech summarization program 118 determines which participant's face in the video feed indicates that the participant is speaking as speech summarization program 118 identifies the voiceprint of the speaker. Speech summarization program 118 then associates that voiceprint with the face identified in the video feed and, if the voiceprint is associated with a name (or other identifier), associates the name with the face as well. Continuing the example above where user Alpha is conducting a video conference on computing device 110 with users Beta and Charlie (participating on computing device 120), if, as a voiceprint is identified, speech summarization program 118 determines that Charlie is speaking based on template matching of his facial expressions, speech summarization program 118 associates the identified voiceprint with the face of participant Charlie. Additionally, if Charlie introduces himself as “Charlie” at the outset of the meeting or his voiceprint is otherwise associated with the name “Charlie,” (described in step 204), speech summarization program 118 will associate the face of Charlie not only with the voiceprint, but with the name “Charlie” as well.

Speech summarization program 118 determines the content of the speech and transcribes the content of the speech made by a speaker (step 210). In the example embodiment, speech summarization program 118 recognizes the speech of statements made by a speaker utilizing a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), however, in other embodiments speech summarization program 106 may transcribe the content of a statement made by a speaker utilizing methods such as phonetic transcription, orthographic transcription, dynamic time warping, neural networks, or deep neural networks. A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is statistical model that outputs a sequence of symbols or quantities. HMMs are used in speech recognition because a speech signal can be viewed as a piecewise stationary signal and in these short lengths of time, speech can be approximated as a stationary process. HMMs output a sequence of n-dimensional real-valued vectors approximately every ten milliseconds, each vector representing a phoneme (basic unit of a language's phonology that is combined with other phonemes to form words). The vectors consist of the most significant coefficients, known as cepstral coefficients, decorrelated from a spectrum that is obtained by applying a cosine transform to the Fourier transform of the short window of speech analyzed. The resulting statistical distribution is a mixture of diagonal covariance Gaussians which give a likelihood for each observed vector, or likelihood for each phoneme. The output distribution, or likelihood, of each phoneme is then used to concatenate the individual HMMs into words and sentences.

Speech summarization program 118 stores the transcribed content of the entire meeting locally on computing device 110 in a file associated with the video conference. In the aforementioned example, if participant Charlie states “I think we should sell,” speech summarization program 118 may break the statement down into piecewise stationary signals and create HMMs of the phonemes making up the words of the statement. Speech summarization program 118 may further concatenate the resulting output distributions to determine the words and sentences Charlie has stated. Further, if the name “Charlie” is associated with the voiceprint of Charlie, speech summarization program 118 transcribes “Charlie: I think we should sell” in the file associated with the meeting. If the name “Charlie” is not associated with the voiceprint of Charlie, however, speech summarization program 118 transcribes “Unidentified Participant 1: I think we should sell” in the file associated with the meeting.

Speech summarization program 118 determines the key points made within the statements transcribed in step 210 (step 212). In the example embodiment, speech summarization program 118 determines key points by utilizing several methods, including monitoring for preselected keywords designated by participants or the host of the meeting, monitoring for words used in high frequency during the meeting after filtering out common verbiage (i.e. filtering words such as “and” and “the”), and monitoring the tone, pitch, and speaking speed of a speaker. Speech summarization program 118 detects changes in speaker tone and pitch by monitoring for variations from the voiceprint of a particular speaker in decibel range, formant, and the other aforementioned acoustic-phonetic characteristics. Additionally, speech summarization program 118 detects changes in speaker speaking speed by monitoring for variations from the average words per second of the speaker. Continuing the example video conference between Alpha, Beta, and Charlie described above, speech summarization program 118 may transcribe statements made by Charlie and determine that Charlie has spoken the preselected keywords “investment,” “sale,” and “profit.” Additionally, speech summarization program 118 may determine Charlie repeated the word “stock” three times, and that Charlie slowed his speech and changed the tone of his voice to emphasize the words “market crash.” Speech summarization program 118 may determine that Charlie's key points were made in regards to his statements about an investment, a sale, a profit, a stock, and a market crash.

Speech summarization program 118 generates and displays an overlay listing a speaker's statements that were determined key points in step 212 (step 214). In the example embodiment, the most recent key points are listed in a semi-opaque bubble displayed above the speaker in the video feed so it can be seen by participants of the video conference. Additionally, a user may hover over the bubble with their mouse to expand the list of recent key points to include all of the key points made by the particular speaker throughout the duration of the video conference. Continuing the example above where Charlie made a statement and speech summarization program 118 determined that the sentences containing the words “investment,” “sale,” “profit,” “stock,” and “market crash” were key points. As the statements containing the words “market crash,” “stock,” and “profit” were the most recent key points made by Charlie, the statements containing these points would be displayed in a semi-opaque bubble above Charlie's face in the video feed for other participants to read. Additionally, if a participant hovers their mouse over the semi-opaque bubble above Charlie, the list will expand to also include the statements containing the words “sale” and “investment.”
